Hey Doug,
Man, you weren't lyin' about appliance prices. Just doing a casual (make that REAL casual) stroll thru the local Home Depot told me that the smaller ( like suitable for RV use) refrigerators could be had for a FRACTION of the price of the typical RV AC-DC-gas unit. Plus it wouldn't take much battery (thru an inverter) to keep one running until you're in camp where you then either plug in or run the generator. Besides, if running it on the road the truck alternator will keep the battery(ies) charged anyway. Truly a win-win situation if you ask me. All the heavier-draw appliances (microwave/convection oven, cooktop, A/C, electric water heater, toe-kick heater(s), etc.) can wait till either plug-in or genset startup. If it can't be run on Diesel or electric, I don't want it in my RV. Who needs propane, anyway?
